Abstract

The objective of this study is to determine a suitable methodology for predicting possible landslide areas and producing landslide risk map in the study area of Sebinkarahisar Township, which is located at the northeastern part of Turkey. In the study, various types of data were used to extract relevant information. These include the satellite sensor data taken in the year of 1987 and 2000, which are used for the extraction of land surface temperature and land use information. 1:25000 scale standard topographic map has been digitized and the obtained contours were used for the derivation of Digital Elevation Model (DEM) and slope map of the study site. Satellite images, DEM and slope map of the study area were used to investigate the possible landslide risk areas and reasons of this natural hazard which threat the study area frequently.
